i got 25% on my sero. with the phone insurence i pay 31 with taxes.

SERO with a 23% corp discount.

unlimited data, unlimited texts, 500 minutes

$29 a month after tax/fees and i tether my phone to my laptop often.

How did you get the corporate discount to apply to SERO? Sprint always denies a SERO discount saying the plan is already discounted.

I don't have one. I can't bring myself to sign a 2 years contract.

I go strictly prepaid now. I spent $91 refill card (no tax) for $100 with tmobile, that bought me 1000 minutes.

tmobile has had a no contract monthly options for a while now....It is the same as a 1 or 2 year deal, but you won't get any goodies like a free phone.

$140 for 1500 shared plan x2 palm pres... Seems like a total waste of money, and that's the cheapest plan you can can get on a pre family plan. We used about 70 minutes the last billing cycle..

I went from spending $60/month on AT&T to spending about $16/month with T-Mobile Prepaid. This is for two cell phones collectively using about 182 minutes/month. I supplement those minutes with MagicJack VOIP for $20/year by using that whenever I'm at home.

$100 + $13 (tax) over a year. So about $10 a month. It's pre-paid and I barely use $5 a month, but find it useful to have one, so works for me.

Currently:

Alltel 2-lines 900 Nationwide 17 My Circle Numbers 200 texts $93/mo

After March 31:
$30 1000/1000 Straight Talk for me
$45 Unl./Unl/ Straight Talk for wife

I would love a smart phone but the $30/$40 per mo. data rate is absolutely ridiculous.

Huge YMMV. I think I just emailed customer service and they applied it. I've had SERO for about 3 years now, corp discount for about 2.
